Fantastic terrain! THANKS so much for playing and posting you Pulp Alley battle report!!
And as for perilous areas....
Yes, it is perfectly logical for folks to want to avoid them. And that is fine, unless there is a more pressing reason to enter the area.
In urban settings, perilous areas could be a busy street with lots of traffic, a bustling outdoor market that is unfriendly to strangers, a dark alley with a bad reputation, an area patrolled by a mean copper, or simply the vertical sides of the buildings (climbing), and so on...
For example, you could say a fenced in area contains an aggressive guard dog - so it is a perilous area. Of course players are going to want to avoid it. But what if the area has tall buildings on both sides? Are you going to go around or over the fence? And what if a plot point is located inside the fenced area?
Perilous areas don't always have to be a big problem. Sometimes you just go around, other times it is not so easy.
Please let us know what other questions you may have.
